Problems in transmitting 8 bits data

[flobb]

I'm currently doing a project involving RF transmission. I have to send 8 bits parallel data and encode it to serial data in order to send the data to transmitter and vice versa for receiver part. However, I couldn't find any 8 bits decoder ic in Msia. So, I'm now planning to use HT 12d but HT 12D has only 4 bits data line. Can I use HT 12D to transmit 8 bits data in some way? Please Help .. thanks

The HT series are simple remote control devices (like a crude TV remote), not data transmitters.

It's pretty easy to use PIC's to do this, and examples are in my tutorials, you can also use proper data endoding/decoding chips like these, along with conversion to and from serial:
